Self-Consistent Picture of the Mass Ejection from a One Second Long Binary Neutron Star Merger Leaving a Short-Lived Remnant in a General-Relativistic Neutrino-Radiation Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation.

Abstract

We perform a general-relativistic neutrino-radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulation of a one second-long binary neutron star merger on the Japanese supercomputer Fugaku using about 85million CPU hours with 20 736 CPUs. We consider an asymmetric binary neutron star merger with masses of 1.2M_{⊙} and 1.5M_{⊙} and a "soft" equation of state SFHo. It results in a short-lived remnant with the lifetime of ≈0.017 s, and subsequent massive torus formation with the mass of ≈0.05M_{⊙} after the remnant collapses to a black hole. For the first time, we find that after the dynamical mass ejection, which drives the fast tail and mildly relativistic components, the postmerger mass ejection from the massive torus takes place due to the magnetorotational instability-driven turbulent viscosity in a single simulation and the two ejecta components are seen in the distributions of the electron fraction and velocity with distinct features.
